I also offer my sincerest appreciation to the President of the Republic of Indonesia for his esteemed presence this evening along with all the invited participants.

This is also a representation of Bank Indonesia’s accountability and transparency as mandated by the Bank Indonesia Act. 6 SYNERGY, TRANSFORMATION, AND INNOVATION Toward an Advanced Indonesia Global Economy: Diminishing growth toward a high-income advanced Globalisation, Increasing Digitalisation economy by 2045.

  • The Monetary Policy Regime in Indonesia
    WP/17/2013 WORKING PAPER THE MONETARY POLICY REGIME IN INDONESIA Solikin M. Juhro Miranda S. Goeltom 2013 The conclusions, opinions and views of the authors in this paper are those of the authors alone and do not constitute the official conclusions, opinions, and views of Bank Indonesia. 1 The Monetary Policy Regime in Indonesiaa b Solikin M. Juhro and Miranda S. Goeltom Abstract The challenges encountered after the financial crises of 1997 98 and 2008 09 have revealed some valuable lessons with regard to monetary policy. In a small open economy, such as that of Indonesia, the multiple challenges facing monetary policy as a result of capital flow dynamics, amid inflationary pressures, suggest that the monetary authorities should employ multiple instruments. This paper shows that coordinated implementation of a policy instrument mix should ultimately be part of an important strategy for optimally managing the monetary policy trilemma in the current climate, which is fraught with widespread uncertainty. It also shows that a post-GFC monetary policy framework in Indonesia is, generally, nhanced hanced to an inflation target as the overriding objective of monetary policy. The main characteristics of ITF will remain, namely, that the inflation target is announced publicly and that the monetary policy is forward-looking, transparent, and clearly accountable. However, the ITF is implemented in a more feasible manner, which means that Bank Indonesia must not only look at the inflation target merely in terms of policy formulation but also consider a number of other factors, including financial sector stability and the dynamics of capital flows and the exchange rate.

  • A Book Review of Central Bank Policy Theory and Practice by Perry Warjiyo and Solikin M. Juhro
    Bulletin of Monetary Economics and Banking, Vol. 23 No. 1, 2020, pp. 153 - 158 p-ISSN: 1410 8046, e-ISSN: 2460 9196 A BOOK REVIEW OF CENTRAL BANK POLICY THEORY AND PRACTICE BY PERRY WARJIYO AND SOLIKIN M. JUHRO Hal Hill Australian National University, Australia. Email: [email protected] The volume under review is a most welcome addition to the still relatively slim collection of economics volumes written in English by Indonesian scholars. There is an established tradition of senior Indonesian policy makers writing major scholarly volumes in their fields of expertise before or after holding high office. One thinks for example of Widjojo Nitisastro’s Population Trends in Indonesia (1970), Radius Prawiro’s Indonesia’s Struggle for Economic Development: Pragmatism in Action (1998), and Soedradjad Djiwandono’s Bank Indonesia and the Crisis: An Insider’s View (2005), among several others. (It is noteworthy that two of these authors were also Bank Indonesia governors.) In an earlier era, Professor Sumitro Djojohadikusumo was the trailblazer, combining serious scholarship along with high policy responsibilities. It is testimony to Indonesia’s political leaders and governance tradition over several decades that policy leadership and serious scholarship have been able to comfortably and productively co-exist. This encyclopaedic volume, intended to bridge the gap between the academic and policy worlds, is written in this tradition. Except that the authors are still in government, respectively as Governor of Bank Indonesia, and Head of its Bank Indonesia Institute. Dr Warjiyo and Dr Solikin have somehow found time to write a book on central banking that is destined to become the standard reference on the subject for policy makers and academics in Indonesia.
